Introduction
This year, Danelectro celebrates 60 years of guitar building, so what better way to commemorate the occasion than with four new models?
The '64, 59M Spruce, '59 Resonator signal a change in focus from the brand, offering improved construction and a higher price tag to match, while the '59DC Long Scale Bass pairs a longer scale length with classic Dano traits.
All four models are available now - read on for more info…
Danelectro '64
Inspired by '60s Mosrites, the '64 offers a solid agathis body with licensed Bigsby vibrato, vintage-style neck single coil and coil-splittable Lipstick bridge humbucker.
Finishes include Dark Aqua, Vintage White, Indigo, Metallic Orange, Candy Apple Red and Three-Tone Sunburst.

Danelectro '59M Spruce
Based on the classic '59 double-cut - famously wielded by one Jimmy Page - the '59M Spruce tweaks the formula with a spruce soundboard and offset soundhole.
Elsewhere, it's business as usual, with a pair of Lipstick single coils and intonatable wraparound bridge.
Some interesting finish options are on offer, however: White Pearl with a choice of Blue, Red or Black 'Seal' scratchplates, or Black Pearl, Buttercup and Chianti.
Danelectro '59 Resonator
“The best-sounding resonator guitar ever”, according to Danelectro, the '59 Shorthorn-based '59 Resonator matches a piezo pickup in the cone with a '56 Lipstick pickup at the neck for blendable electric and acoustic tones via an onboard blend control.
Finish options are Black and Tobacco Sunburst.
